Aida

This week, one of the world's most-performed operas, Giuseppe Verdi's "Aida."

Verdi's vision of ancient Egypt is grandly realized with the
help of the Met's unparalleled musical forces-and every one of its
stage elevators. Violeta Urmana and Marcello Giordani star as the
ill-fated lovers. Stephanie Blythe sings Amneris for the first time
at the Met.
